We have received this morning by express, from Kris, the Doile dated yesterday morning. Its con tenti_are not, however, of the importance which we had expected they would be. It contains not one word of, intelligence from Portugal, and the follow ingl.3 the only paragraph which possesses any interest:— VIENNA, DEC. 17. "We learn from an authentic source, that the Infant Don .laud is highly displeased at the events which have taken place is Portugal, and he has said to the Minister of the Brasile that he t'" greatly dissatisfied with the Marquis of Silveira and Chaves.

The opening of the Studies in this University, deferred by order of the Senate, from the Ist November, till last Wednesday, on account of delay in the return of the Il lustrious Archer* to this island, in consequence of ill health, took place on the day appointed. At 8 o'clock in the morning the Professors, preceded by all the Students, and accompanied by'a great number of other persons, went in procession to the church of the Blessed Virgin, where Te Deism was chanted by the Metropolitan of this island. After divine service, the procession returned to the Hall of the University, where the usual academical sitting was held, in the •presence of the High Lord High Commis sioner, pro tempore, of the President and the Senate, the Chief Autho r iti es o f t h e S tate, an d a numerous audience of persons of distinction. The- Ephorus of the University briefly stated the various lectures which had been delivered during the last year, and the rapid progress of the youths in their several branches of study. After this, the Archen asked if the Academic Body thought fit to confer the Laurel of Medicine on Signior Caralambo Pilarina, of Cephalonia, and that of Literature on Sig. Constantine Sachellaropulo, Professor of Archeology Elect, in the University, and the faculties of medicine and literature assenting, the above two gentlemen were introduced into the Hall by the Orator of the University, who declared the doctrines and the moral virtues of each of them. When they had both received the laurel, the Orator delivered a very profound discourse, in which he proved the use and advantages of study, and traced, ab ow, the history of Greekiiterature, following it minutely in all its epochs. Coming down to our modern times, he showed how the youth of these islands, by the wisdom of the Government, which, by the institution of the University, has given them every means of studying with success, had the way open to them to emulate the virtues of their illustrious ancestors. Our Orator being obliged to pass over many pages of his discourse, in order not to run the risk of wearying his hearers, deprived them of great part of the pleasure which they would doubtless have felt in listening to the rest of the recondite informa tion which distinguished his performance. The Most Honourable Archen closed the sitting with the following discourse " Great was my joy at the dose of the second year of our University, to see the number of our young philologers amount to eighty. How much better founded, and greater must my satisfaction be, at now seeing triple that number of youths, whose progress in every branch of learning in spires the fairest hopes for the honour of this institution, and whose conduct has on no occasion given me any trouble. And it is not only from the philologers that our academy expects it: "--- - " i5,4404,,5171 lisaus94l. it ...manned prZsperlry ; it is 'espeeialripleasing to see among them so many who are destined to the education of youth and the service of the altars. Heaven grant, omy beloved and promising phi lologers, 0 youths, both ecclesiastics and laity, that you may persevere in the conduct which has hitherto done you so much honour, and may the Almighty, who has so be nignantly protected u s , guide and prosper our feebl e efforts to the , glory of his name, and the ob s e rvance o f his holy laws.' FRANKFORT, DRC. 91. Our Senate has appointed Mr. John George Behrends to be Consul of this free city at London. The public anxiety for news from Lisbon is doomed to be still further excited. The steam-boat, whose arrival has been momentarily expected for the last forty-eight hours, has not yet been heard of, nor have despatches by any other channel yet reached town. We alluded yesterday to the Speech delivered on the 4th instant, in the Chamber of Peers at Lisbon, by the Count DE VILLA REAL, late Ambassador from Portugal to the Court of Madrid, and as this Speech becomes an historical document of considera ble importance, as containing a detailed statement of the conduct of the Ministers of FERDINAND, by which the amicable relations previously ,au bsisting be t Ween Spain and Portugal have been interrupted, and events produced, the consequences of which no one can predict, we. have published it in. another column at full length. After an attentive perusal of this Document, we think it will be impossible to assert that Portugal, or England as her Ally, has acted hastily in the measures now adopted, and difficult to entertain an expectation that a Government, which has acted so long and so decidedly, on a system of policy inimical to the exis tence of liberal institutions in any part of the Penin sula, should be induced to change that system, until the most pOwerful of arguments have been practically applied against it. The fourth and fifth Bulletins of the health of the King of PRUSSIA, are very favourable. Ilia MA-, JRBTY has resumed his daily habits of business. We o b serve b y t h e Ply mou th P aper , t h at t h e l ower deck guns o f 'eome:.of:the line-of-battle ships sent to Lisbon with troops, which had been taken out prior to the sailing of the s hi ps , have been put on board trans ports for. conve -Ance to the Tagus. London is, as 01 ay be su pposed, very desolate at this season of th e Year. Almost all who can leave town are either exercising or enjoying hospi tality peculiar to the seaso the rural ; many of those who are less fortunate feel a melanch o l y satisfaction in the re collection of early days, when families perhaps now p p dispersed over the globe, used to assemble for one week's enjoyment of unmixed felicity. There is some thing peculiarly satisfactory in the contemplation of this description of happiness. lt is " Fioui passion's iii-ova refined and clear." Evan , 6 stern reason frowns not on it ;" and for one period of existence, at least, those Wh o li ve i n the time acquire a higher idea of their own impor tXnce, and cultivate the arts and sciences with a consciousness of their beneficial 'effect upon - the condition of SoCiety. , The growing improvement of the lOnian States must .awaken a corresponding desire among their neighbours, till 'even the Turks seize the bright torch of learning,_ and illumine the East—so long a prey to 'ignorance and superstition. Certainly nothing can tend so much to harmonize the vengeful jealousies existing in that quarter, as the diffusion of liberal knowledge. One half of the world is - kept wretched from an absurd devotion to the prejudices of • their ancestors—and the great bar to improvement is generally to be found in the obstinacy of those who are too wise to con fess their ignorance, and too conceited to allow in others a larger share 'of learning, virtue, or common sense than they possess themselves. L et us hope when the youth taught at this University disperse them. selves over the barbarous regions of the East, that their career may be blest with the emulative desire o: the people to avail themselves of the means of acquir ing rational enjoyment by the diffusion of knowledge, which is so intimately connected with the happiness of mankind : country may proudly compare . their .condition with that of the inhabitants of cities. No doubt early esso- --- 4iation.is every thing, and those who have always lived towns may see nothing but dulness in a family circle, 4ound a blazing fire, relating to each other the little ad- V , entures which have occurred since they last met. Such a ticene would, to their apprehension, be a poor substi tute for the splendour of a London Theatre, and for all the other amusements which this Imperial City affords to those who can purchase them. We yesterday mentioned the death of Mr. Binc, who was killed in a duel at Dublin on Monday last. The expression applied by him to his political enemy was certainly unjustifiable, but full dearly► has he paid for it. We may revert to the subject again, though we have frequently expressed our detestation of those absurd laws of honour, but at present we shall only state our intention of keeping an accurate list during the en suing year, of the human victims which may be offered during its course to satisfy that bloody deity —Honour. Wagccs to a very large amount have been kid at Lloyd's rela tive to the occupation of Oporto. It was stated last evening that accounts from Lisbon to the 12th inst. had been received by the Blessing, a merchant vessel, which had arrived in the River; but upon enquiry we found that the Blessing left the Tagus on the 10th, the date of the last des.; patches from Lisbou. We have perused several commercial letters from different parts of the Continent, tending to show, in a very remarkable degree, how erroneous a notion has been entertained, till recently, of the real power and resources of England, and hoW completely it has been removed by the vigour and promptitude of our late conduct with regard to Portugal. The extraordinary event* which have occurred here within the last twelve months have been the basis of 'an opinion, even among well-informed men, highly' unfavourable to us as a nation. It has been seen that public credit, from ap parently slight causes, has been exposed to a very severe shock, from which it has only been rescued by the interference of the Bank, which, by the very act of- - lending its assistance, was itself placed iu a state of extreme jeopardy. Our merchants, previously in high credit, were seen to fall on all sides, and no bills on Eng land could be negoeiated without difficulty for a long period. Even our manufactures, the source of our national prosperity, were de clared to be in a state of ruin, while the tranquillity of the coun try was threatened by the multitude of artisans deprived from that cause of the means of subsistence. Persons who have observed and who have reasoned upon these events, have been struck with astonishment at the expedition to Portugal, on its way thither in twenty-four hours after the resolution to send it had been taken, and at the Npeech of Mr. Canning, with its just exposition of our power to the rest of Europe. In this view of the case, therefore, should uo other result follow it, England has gained incalculably in point of character by the late events, and that opinion may in the end prove the best security against any more general warfare in the course of their development.— Times. We are grieved to state that th© health of his Roya: Highness the Duke of YORK has not undergone an) favourable change, and that the most alarming appre hensions on his account are entertained to-day.

POILTWOUTit, DEC. 7.—The wind continues both (avow able and of moderate strength, so that as the transports are got ready for the Dragoons going to Portugal, they embark without the least inconvenience, and sail directly out of the harbour to the Taguc The greater part of the 12th Lancers have thus pro ceeded ; and this afternoon a transport,. whi► the staff-officers' horses (SO) of the army, sailed direct from alongside the dock yard jetty to Lisbon.. " We are anxiously looking out for 14 sail more transports from Deptford, which are intended to take the lfith Hussars and Waggon-train. '; it is. in every respect so desirable to get them away before-a change of wind comes, that not a moment of the present most: favourable weather should be let slip. It wou ld really appear as though the measure of stopping the career of the base and stupid Ferdinand were smiled upon from above. " His Majesty's brig Calliope, Lieutenant-.Pinney, was this morning ordered to be fitted to take Mr. llocafuerte, the Mexican Minister, to Vera Cruz, The Calliope will return to England immediately after having landed the Minister.
